A few other interesting elections where "compromises" include the election of 1824 where Andrew Jackson got the most votes out of four candidates, but not enough to be called the winner. After an alleged backroom deal, the guy with the second most votes - John Quincy Adams - was named the winner, in the only election decided by the house of representatives and not the voters since then. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_of_1824 And then there's the infamous Compromise of 1877 which put Rutherford B. Hayes in the White House, and effectively ended Reconstruction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compromise_of_1877 Deep research the Mr. Bullock.

A tie vote in the 1800 election between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr led to the enactment in 1804 of the 12th Amendment to the Constitution, which provides that the electoral college use separate ballots, one for president and one for vice president.

They are definitely appreciated. The Obama campaign is definitely using social media in unique ways. Last week when he used Twitter to tell his followers when he would announce his VP choice. By doing this the mainstream media learned about the move just as we all did. He also uses sites like ScribD.com to distribute content to the wider online audience. We're trying to get to someone on the Obama social media team to answer questions like the one you have on tracking social activities. We'll let you know when that happens. Thanks again!
